A.R.T./MXAT Institute Presents I SPEAK THEREFORE I AM
The American Repertory Theater/Moscow Art Theater Institute for Advanced Theater Training presents its final production of the 2010-11 season - I Speak, Therefore I Am... - created by Brendan Shea and the A.R.T./MXAT Institute Class of 2011, and directed by John Tiffany.
The production is presented at the Loeb Experimental Theatre, 64 Brattle Street, Cambridge.
Performance dates and times are May 25, 26, 27 at 7:30pm; May 28 at 2:00pm and 7:30pm
Director John Tiffany collaborates with the A.R.T. Institute Class of 2011 on this original exploration of humanity's most powerful (and baffling) tool - the human voice. Using everything from fairy tales to family history, documentary, fictional narrative and physical theater, I Speak Therefore I Am offers a funny, inventive, and deeply personal look at how our voice tells the world who we are, how and why we speak.
John Tiffany is the multiple award-winning director of Black Watch, created at the The National Theatre of Scotland, where he has been the Associate Director since its inception in 2006. The National Theatre of Scotland is a groundbreaking model for a national theater company in that it has no building of its own. Instead, it creates and tours work all over Scotland and internationally, often performing in unusual and challenging environments. Tiffany leads the artistic development team, responsible for commissioning and developing new projects for the company. Black Watch (currently playing in a return engagement at St. Anne's Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY) has won four Laurence Olivier Awards, an Edinburgh Festival Fringe First Award, a Critics' Circle Theatre Award, a Herald Angel Award and a South Bank Show Award. His other directing work for The National Theatre of Scotland includes The Bacchae, Be Near Me, The House of Bernarda Alba and Peter Pan. Tiffany has also won Edinburgh Festival Fringe First Awards for Gagarin Way and Perfect Days, and a Herald Angel Award for The Straits. He earned a master's in theater and classics from the University of Glasgow, and is currently a 2010-11 Radcliffe Fellow in Theater.
